Tracy’s Red, White, and Blue swap card

Here is yet another great red, white, and blue card!  Of course I'm always bias to stars, stripes, bling, and ribbon and this has all of the aforementioned!!  Tracy did a great job with the challenge, don't ya think?  She incorporated a lot of punches, namely the large star punch, 1/2" circle punch,and the scallop edge border punch.  The Big Shot was also used with the Square Lattice embossing folder for the Real Red layer.  And of course some jewel rhinestones! 

Emma’s 9th Birthday

Emma is a frequent stamper of mine and she's 9! She and her mom come to most of my mom & me classes and she is such a love.  I've actually known Emma and her mom for about 7 years now and remember her toddling around with this headful of adorable curly hair and now she's 9!  Crazy.
So, Emma's mom approached me and told me that Emma wanted to stamp at her birthday party.  LOVE IT!  How could I say no?  So first, every birthday girl needs a birthday present, right?!  So here was my present to her…a scrapbook layout to scrap her 9th birthday party.

A row of 9 (of course) cupcakes with some sugary cherries on top!

Here's the journaling block.  This cherry has a dab of crystal effects on it to make it look super yummy!!

Tomorrow, I'll show you the projects the girls stamped!

Hope you enjoyed this absolutely gorgeous weather this weekend!!

Christmas Cards

Here are the Christmas cards we made last night.  It's hard to choose which one is my favorite.  I love the Deck the Halls designer paper and the vintage feel to the Cardinal card… I like the ease that the snowflake card comes together yet still looks well put together…of course I love the ornaments, the details in the ornaments just make it… and who doesn't like the crispness of Real Red, Basic Black, and Whisper White together along with some glitter on Santa's hat??

Do you have your Christmas card designed?  If not, I'd love to help you!  Just shoot me an email or give me a call to help you design Christmas cards perfect for you!

Sticky Note Holder

Here is the sticky note holder we made at the Mom & Me class as well as at my Demo Only stamp camp.  The kids loved making them (and the moms too!) and so I thought it a good idea to show my team members so they too can offer the project as an option for a children's class.

Remember, I'm holding another Mom & Me class where you and your child can create these same projects on September 15th at 6:30 pm.  Let me know if you want to attend!  Class Fee: $12

These would make really great back to school gifts, don't ya think?
